P812 controller failure (HP D2D4324)

IMPORTANT: When replacing the P812 controller be sure to always replace cards into the same slot from which they were removed. See also the rear view drawings in Chapter 1. The FBWC is an integral part of the card.

1.Power off the HP D2D Backup System. Remove the cover from the HP D2D, as described in the appropriate HP ProLiant Maintenance and Service guide, and locate the P812 controllers in PCI-e slots 4, 5 and 6.

NOTE: The LEDs on the P812 controller card provide diagnostic information when the unit is powered on. For a detailed description of these LEDs, refer to the “HP Smart Arrays for HP ProLiant Servers user guide”.

2.Unclip the blue PCIe card retaining latch and remove the PCIe card.

3.Install the new P812 card and check that it is seated properly. Close the blue PCIe card retaining latch.

4.Replace the cover, as described in the appropriate HP ProLiant Maintenance and Service guide, and power on the HP D2D Backup System.

HP SAS expander card (HP D2D4324 and D2D4312)

If no disks are showing on the Storage-Shelves page of the D2D Web Management Interface, there may be a problem with the HP SAS expander card.

The part number for a replacement card is: 468405–001. It must be installed in PCI-e slot 1.

Mini-SAS cables (part numbers 493228–005 and 493228–006) connect the expander card to the hard disk drive backplane, as described in the following table. SAS cables are also connected from the motherboard to the SAS expander card

NOTE: Tuck the mini-SAS cables to be routed to the backplane into the side of the chassis. Loop the SAS cables to connect to the motherboard in the void.
